There are many packages that are not on the Fedora repo's, usually due to
licencing issues, etc. You will need to use a third party repo, such as
Livna, or Freshrpms to get the package you require.
You do not say which FC version you are using, but I presume FC5, or 6.
For Freshrpms, and for FC5 the site address is:
http://bordeaux.freshrpms.net
For FC6
http://zod.freshrpms.net
The Livna repo is at:
http://rpm.livna.org/
You will have to install the gpg keys for these repos, but info is on the
sites, and will have to setup the URL's to access the repos, in I
think /etc/yum.conf , but there are shortcuts on the sites to save you
manually typing in the URL's.
All the best, and you might find installing Mplayer, and Mplayerplugin from
Livna might fix a lot of your problems.
